However, they added a Winter garden, enclosing the Thai-
style terrace with glass so guests can enjoy the view of the
tropical garden from inside. They say it reminds them of their
grandparents’ home, where they regularly spent summers
throughout their childhood. This influence is a strong
foundation for Sühring, as the brothers inherited their skill
and passion for cooking from their grandmother.
Mathias says that it was important for them to have complete
control over the atmosphere of the restaurant. “We spent
so many years working in fine dining restaurants, and we
something different. While we still wanted to provide fine
food, we wanted to do it in an environment that’s more
relaxed and personal”, he explained. “We picked out
everything ourselves, from the food down to the decoration
and layout of the restaurant”.
Thomas and Mathias never expected Sühring to become
quite as popular as it has, with some guests even flying into
Bangkok for the Sühring experience. They’re especially
happy to receive good feedback from fellow Germans. “We
can feel that when they come here, they are proud of their
heritage,” Thomas said through a grin. “They say that even
in Germany, there is no restaurant like ours”. The brothers
currently have no plans to expand the brand. Instead, they
intend to focus their time and energy on constantly evolving
their concept and improving the experience for the guests
who visit their restaurant. · Chef
